Linas, I am not sure what your dog in this fight is. You don’t like me to catch other members lying?
I can’t decide if I would put money on Juan or Burkeson… Juan’s probably in better shape, but older guys have a wealth of sneaky moves. It’s a hard call… 
Joe would probably win by boring Juan to death explaining why Obama’s so great and Biden is really an intellect.
Juan, this is just my opinion.
You can do as you wish. Most of the men you are belittling or having this **** fight with are senior INACHI members that can voice an opinion.
I would recommend you apologize.
I will leave fate be your destiny seeing you do not listen to reason nor experience.
All the best.
ha ha ha ha ha :):):)
YOU SIR WIN THE GOLD STAR!
I am sure Joe is a great inspector. In fact he is a forensic house investigator or something like that. However, by his own admission just over a year ago, he was not a BNI member. Its beneath him to lie. I owe no apology.
I see only one problem with that. If you are a member I sure hope you think it is worth you time 
Those who have been or checked it out a few times may have valid opinions as well.
I personally spoke to John this morning just to give him my 2 cents because I think there are good and bad things about about BNI and figured it would be easier for me to express my opinions over the phone rather than here.
I have learned that in MOST instances on forums and such you cannot really catch the tone of the person typing and often we do not really understand what they type as well as we would if we actually talked to them,
My opinion is the more things you try the better off you are. Check things out in person then make your decision on what is good for you.
Mike Meeker, that is one of the most lucid, well composed, emotion free post i’ve seen in a while, is the foot bothering you that much, or good meds?
Also completely on point. If this thread keeps up, Nathan will be jealous that Recall Check loses the record for longest round & round thread with no resolution or better understanding of either point of view that is started by anyone.
Meds help. I can’t do much but sit on the damn couch with my leg up.
It is odd less folks have been hatting on me latley even though I have not changed my opinion on anything.
Maybe I am getting some pity or something
You would not believe the number of folks that have called me over the years to get my opinions or bounce ideas off me. I always help anyone who asks. I just do not tow the company line on the COE and a few other things.
I concur. 
Believe it or not I have a whole lot of life experience at 43.
I have been everything from a top exec pulling in millions in sales to a laborer and everything in between.
I’ve worked for as long as I can remember in all different types of businesses.
I have more time as management then labor but see the world from all perspectives.
Been a real rough 6 years or so but I imagine i’ll be on top of the world again some day. At least i hope so.
I see things differently than most folks do. Not necessarily better or worse just differently and from many different angles.
And back in 2000…
There was only one easily recognized Organization in PA…
(I will not mention their name…)
and their efforts to thwart NACHI…
created what we have today…
An Entrepreneurial spirit
is what drives the Economy, Business (HI Organizations) etc…
Just like then…
It exists now…
